I converted a 12 size master to 16 with s short kit. The most expensive component was the collet, found one on eBay. All the other parts, were from a 600 Jnr. Not the same as a Grabber, but eBay has or had when last I looked parts for mec progressives. Good luck.

I'd contact MEC first and see what they recommend. If they say to just change out the dies then find them online and compare the online price vs MEC factory price.

Stan, considering the variety of sixteen gauge empties that you will use, I would recommend a PW 375 because of the aggressive full length resizing. I have a baggo them and have used them since the first day they were on the market. They are all still running. Just checked on gunsinternational and ebay and it looks like you are out of luck. However, guys like me are kicking off every day, so keep your eyes peeled.
